Create a raster layer from a raster image service.
      
   
    
Use case
Accessing a raster image from an online service can be useful for analysing the most up-to-date data available for an area. For example, retrieving recent results of bathymetry surveys within a shipping channel monitored for its sediment build-up would allow planners to assess dredging needs.
How to use the sample
Simply launch the sample to see a raster from an image service being used on a map.
How it works
To add a RasterLayer as an operational layer from an ImageServiceRaster:
- Create an ImageServiceRasterusing the service's URL
- Create a RasterLayerfrom the raster
- Add it as an operational layer with map.getOperationalLayers().add(rasterLayer)
Relevant API
- ImageServiceRaster
- RasterLayer
About the data
This sample uses a NOAA raster image service. The service computes a hillshade image from the depth (in meters) of U.S. coastal waters.
